Pokémon: Pidgeotto Series: Base Set 2 Set: Team Rocket Card Number: 28/130 Rarity: Rare Condition: N/A Grade: Raw Year: 2000 Illustrator: Ken Sugimori Pidgeotto (28/130) from Pokémon Base Set 2 is a prized Stage 1 Colorless-type Pokémon card that captures the essence of the early days of the Pokémon TCG. Evolving from Pidgey, this rare card showcases Ken Sugimori’s iconic artwork, bringing the Flying-type Pokémon to life with dynamic detail and vintage charm. With 60 HP and a simple yet effective design, Pidgeotto stands as a nostalgic favorite among collectors and players who appreciate the foundational sets that launched a global phenomenon. Strategically, Pidgeotto brings two notable attacks to the battlefield. "Whirlwind" deals 20 damage and forces the opponent to switch in a Benched Pokémon, making it a disruptive play in the right context. Its second ability, "Mirror Move," allows it to reflect the last attack used against it back at the Defending Pokémon, adding a layer of tactical depth. With a single Colorless retreat cost and resistances that reduce damage from Fighting-type attacks by 30, Pidgeotto offers balanced gameplay mechanics for its era. As part of Base Set 2—released in February 2000 and featuring classic Pokémon like Charizard and Blastoise—this card holds significant historical value. Graded as "Raw" (ungraded), its condition may vary, but even in played form, it remains a sought-after piece for deck builders and nostalgia-driven collectors. Whether used in retro gameplay or preserved as a keepsake, Pidgeotto (28/130) symbolizes the enduring legacy of the Pokémon Trading Card Game’s golden age.
